The Mirror of the Self – Sexuality, Self–Knowledge, and the Gaze in the Early Roman Empire

About The Mirror of the Self – Sexuality, Self–Knowledge, and the Gaze in the Early Roman Empire

People in the ancient world thought of vision as both an ethical tool and a tactile sense, akin to touch. The author traces this complex notion of self from Plato's Greece to Seneca's Rome as she unveils divided selves, moral hypocrisy, and lustful Stoics - and offers fresh insights about seminal works.
